Seismic Coefficient Ca and Cv

Enter the coefficient from table 9.1.4.2.4A or 9.1.4.2.4B as required.

Table 9.1.4.2.4A

Seismic Coefficient Ca

Shaking Intensity

Soil Profile Aa<0.05g Aa=0.05g Aa=0.10g Aa=0.20g Aa=0.30g Aa=0.40g Aa>=0.5g b

Type

A Aa 0.04 0.08 0.16 0.24 0.32 0.40

B Aa 0.05 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.40 0.50

Seismic Coefficient Cv

Shaking Intensity

Soil Profile Aa<0.05g Aa=0.05g Aa=0.10g Aa=0.20g Aa=0.30g Aa=0.40g Aa>=0.5g b

Type

A Av 0.04 0.08 0.16 0.24 0.32 0.40

B Av 0.05 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.40 0.50

E Av 0.18 0.35 0.64 0.84 0.96 a

Note: For intermediate values, the higher value of straight-line interpolation shall be used to determine the value of Ca or Cv.

a
Site specific geotechnical information and dynamic site response analyses shall be performed.

b
Site specific studies required per Section 9.2.2.4.3 may result in higher values of Av than included on hazard maps, as may the provisions of
Section 9.2.6.
